High-speed Steels High-speed steel (HSS) tools were developed to
machine at higher speeds than was previously possible They can be hardened to various depths, have good
wear resistance and are inexpensive There are two basic types of high-speed steels:
molybdenum (M-series) and tungsten (T-series) High-speed steel tools are available in wrought, cast
and powder-metallurgy (sintered) forms They can be coated for improved performance
High-speed SteelsEXAMPLE 22.1
Alloying Elements in High-speed Steel Cutting Tools
List the major alloying elements in high-speed steels and describe their effects in cutting tools.
Solution
The major alloying elements in HSS are chromium, vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, and molybdenum
Cast-cobalt Alloys Cast-cobalt alloys have high hardness, good wear
resistance and can maintain their hardness at elevated temperatures
They are not as tough as high-speed steels and are sensitive to impact forces
Less suitable than high-speed steels for interrupted cutting operations
Carbides Also known as cemented or sintered carbides They have the following characteristics:
1. High hardness over a wide range of temperatures
2. High elastic modulus
3. High thermal conductivity
4. Thermal expansion
5. Versatile
6. Cost-effective tool and die materials for a wide range of applications
Carbides: Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide (WC) consists of tungsten-carbide particles bonded together in a cobalt matrix
As the cobalt content increases, the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of WC decrease
Its toughness increases because of the higher toughness of cobalt
Carbides: Titanium Carbide
Consists of a nickel–molybdenum matrix Has higher wear resistance than tungsten carbide but
is not as tough Suitable for machining hard materials and for cutting at
speeds higher than tungsten carbide
Carbides: Inserts High-speed steel tools are shaped for applications such
as drill bits and milling and gear cutters Inserts are individual cutting tools with several cutting
points Clamping is the preferred method of securing an insert
and insert has indexed (rotated in its holder) to make another cutting point available
Carbides: Inserts Available in a variety of shapes: square, triangle,
diamond and round The smaller the included angle, the lower the strength
of the edge
Carbides: Inserts Chip-breaker features on inserts for the purposes of:
1. Controlling chip flow during machining
2. Eliminating long chips
3. Reducing vibration and heat generated Stiffness of the machine tool is important Light feeds, low speeds, and chatter are crucial as
they tend to damage the tool’s cutting edge
Carbides: Classification of Carbides
ISO standards for carbide grades are classified using the letters P, M, and K
Coated Tools New alloys and engineered materials are being
developed to have high strength and toughness, abrasive and chemically reactive with tool materials
Coatings have unique properties:
1. Lower friction
2. Higher adhesion
3. Higher resistance to wear and cracking
4. Acting as a diffusion barrier
5. Higher hot hardness and impact resistance
Coated Tools:Coating Materials and Coating Methods
Common coating materials are:
1. Titanium nitride
2. Titanium carbide
3. Titanium carbonitride
4. Aluminum oxide
Coated Tools:Coating Materials and Coating Methods
Coatings are applied on cutting tools and inserts by two techniques:
1. Chemical-vapor deposition (CVD)
2. Physical-vapor deposition (PVD)
Coatings have the following characteristics:
1. High hardness
2. Chemical stability and inertness
3. Low thermal conductivity
4. Compatibility and good bonding
5. Little or no porosity
Coated Tools:Coating Materials and Coating Methods
Titanium-nitride Coatings Have low friction coefficients, high hardness, resistance
to high temperature and good adhesion to the substrate Improve the life of high-speed steel tools and improve
the lives of carbide tools, drill bits, and cutters Perform well at higher cutting speeds and feeds
Coated Tools:Coating Materials and Coating Methods
Titanium-carbide Coatings Coatings have high flank-wear resistance in machining
abrasive materials
Ceramic Coatings Coatings have low thermal conductivity, resistance to
high temperature, flank and crater wear
Coated Tools:Coating Materials and Coating Methods
Multiphase Coatings Desirable properties of the coatings can be combined
and optimized with the use of multiphase coatings Coatings also available in alternating multiphase
layers
Coated Tools:Miscellaneous Coating Materials Titanium carbonitride and titanium-aluminum
nitride are effective in cutting stainless steels Chromium carbide is effective in machining softer
metals that tend to adhere to the cutting tool More recent developments are nanolayer coatings
and composite coatings
Coated Tools: Ion Implantation
Ions are introduced into the surface of the cutting tool, improving its surface properties
Process does not change the dimensions of tools Nitrogen-ion implanted carbide tools have been used
successfully on alloy steels and stainless steels
Alumina-based Ceramics Ceramic tool materials consist of fine-grained and
high-purity aluminum oxide Additions of titanium carbide and zirconium oxide
improve toughness and thermal shock resistance Alumina-based ceramic tools have very high abrasion
resistance and hot hardness
Alumina-based CeramicsCermets Consist of ceramic particles in a metallic matrix They are chemical stability and resistance to built-up
edge formation But they are brittle, expensive and limited usage
Cubic Boron Nitride Cubic boron nitride is the hardest material available Carbide provides shock resistance, high wear
resistance and cutting-edge strength At elevated temperatures, it is chemically inert to iron
and nickel Its resistance to oxidation is high and suitable for
cutting hardened ferrous and high-temperature alloys
Silicon-nitride-based Ceramics
Silicon-nitride (SiN) based ceramic tool materials consist of silicon nitride with various additions of aluminum oxide, yttrium oxide and titanium carbide
Tools have high toughness, hot hardness and good thermal-shock resistance
Due to chemical affinity to iron at elevated temperature, SiN-based tools are not suitable for machining steels
Diamond The hardest substance is diamond They have low friction, high wear resistance and the
ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge It is used when a good surface finish and dimensional
accuracy are required Synthetic or industrial diamonds are used as natural
diamond has flaws and performance can be unpredictable
As diamond is brittle, tool shape and sharpness are important
Whisker-reinforced Materials and Nanomaterials
There is continuous effort of improving the performance and wear resistance of cutting tools
New tool materials with enhanced properties are:
1. High fracture toughness
2. Resistance to thermal shock
3. Cutting-edge strength
4. Creep resistance
5. Hot hardness The use of whiskers is for reinforcing fibers in composite cutting tool
materials Nanomaterials are also becoming important in advanced cutting-tool
materials
Tool Costs and Reconditioning of Tools
Tool costs depend on the tool material, size, shape, chip-breaker features and quality
The cost of an individual insert is relatively insignificant Cutting tools can be reconditioned by resharpening
them Reconditioning of coated tools also is done by
recoating them
Cutting Fluids Cutting fluids is used to:
1. Reduce friction and wear
2. Cool the cutting zone
3. Reduce forces and energy consumption
4. Flush away the chips from the cutting zone
5. Protect the machined surface from environmental corrosion Depending on the type of machining operation, a coolant, a
lubricant, or both are used Effectiveness of cutting fluids depends on type of machining
operation, tool and workpiece materials and cutting speed
Cutting FluidsCutting-fluid Action Cutting fluid seep from the sides of the chip through the
capillary action of the interlocking network of surface asperities in the interface
Discontinuous cutting operations have more straightforward mechanisms for lubricant application, but the tools are more susceptible to thermal shock
Cutting FluidsEXAMPLE 22.2
Effects of Cutting Fluids on Machining
A machining operation is being carried out with a cutting fluid that is an effective lubricant. What will be the changes in the mechanics of the cutting operation if the fluid is shut off?
Cutting FluidsSolution
Effects of Cutting Fluids on Machining
Chain of events taking place after the fluid is shut off:
1. Friction at the tool–chip interface will increase
2. The shear angle will decrease in accordance
3. The shear strain will increase
4. The chip will become thicker
5. A built-up edge is likely to form
Cutting FluidsSolution
Effects of Cutting Fluids on Machining
As a result:
1. The shear energy in the primary zone will increase
2. The frictional energy in the secondary zone will increase
3. The total energy will increase
4. The temperature in the cutting zone will rise
5. Surface finish will to deteriorate and dimensional tolerances may be difficult to maintain
Cutting FluidsTypes of Cutting Fluids 4 general types:
1. Oils - mineral, animal, vegetable, compounded, and synthetic oils,
2. Emulsions - a mixture of oil and water and additives
3. Semisynthetics - chemical emulsions containing little mineral oil
4. Synthetics - chemicals with additives
Cutting FluidsMethods of Cutting-fluid Application 4 basic methods:
1. Flooding
2. Mist
3. High-pressure systems
4. Through the cutting tool system
Cutting FluidsEffects of Cutting Fluids Selection of a cutting fluid based on:
1. Workpiece material and machine tools
2. Biological considerations
3. Environment Machine-tool operator is in close proximity to cutting fluids, thus
health effects is a primary concern Progress has been made in ensuring the safe use of cutting fluids Recycling involves treatment of the fluids with various additives,
agents, biocides, deodorizers and water treatment
Cutting Fluids:Near-dry and Dry Machining
Near-dry cutting is the application of a fine mist of an air–fluid mixture containing a very small amount of cutting fluid
Dry machining is effective on steels, steel alloys, and cast irons, but not for aluminum alloys
One of the functions of a metal-cutting fluid is to flush chips from the cutting zone
Cryogenic Machining Using nitrogen or carbon dioxide as a coolant The chips are more brittle and machinability is increased
